At IT Knowledge Zone, we understand that you need to know how data about you (i.e., personal data) is used. The IT Knowledge Zone Privacy Notice consists of this page and the specific notices below which describe how we collect, use, and share personal data and explain your related rights and choices. “We” (or “Us”) are IT Knowledge Zone (including any relevant affiliates) and “You” may be a visitor to one of our websites (“Sites”) or a user of our online services and applications and any related downloadable software (“Offerings”).
Together with the information on this page, the following notices describe our use of your data based on how we interact with you:
General Privacy Notice. When we interact with you outside the Offerings (e.g., on our Sites, social media properties, through pre-contractual activities, during events, through surveys, or other non-Offerings features).
Offerings Privacy Notice. When you sign up for or use Offerings which we provide to you or, if you are an organizational user, to our customer with whom you have a relationship (e.g., employer/employee).
Cookie Notice. When data is collected automatically from your device by way of cookies and other tracking technologies.
Candidate Privacy Notice. When you apply for a job with IT Knowledge Zone or one of our affiliated companies, whether through one of our Sites or third party service.
IT Knowledge Zone, being an IT ambassador and IT Platform, aims to create an ecosystem to serve everyone involved in the IT field, whether it is technology buyers, sellers, or users, to make better business decisions.
We offer partners and contributors a platform to reach out to passionate tech audiences. Share your valuable knowledge, whether it is digital content, online events, or tech gatherings, to a keen IT community. Whether you are a technology buyer looking for IT solutions or technology advice, content, or comprehensive reports, or a technology seller who wants to share success stories and informative content with an IT audience, this is the right platform for you.
IT Knowledge Zone Inc. may share personal data with our affiliated companies (listed here) for our or our affiliates’ internal business purposes (e.g., when you use or purchase an affiliate’s services, when you apply to one of our global offices, etc.), marketing similar products, or for other legal requirements. A reference to “IT Knowledge Zone,” “we,” or “us” is a reference to IT Knowledge Zone and the relevant affiliate involved in the processing activity.
We may disclose your data to our customers or Partners for marketing communication with you via email, call, social media, etc., subject always to compliance with the terms of this Policy and the requirements of applicable law.
We may obtain your data when you provide it to us (e.g. email or telephone, or by any other means).
We may collect Personal Data that you manifestly choose to make public, including via our Site.
We may receive your Personal Data from third parties who provide it to us (e.g., social media platforms via plugins).
We may collect or obtain Personal Data when you visit our site or use any features or resources available on or through our Site.
You can modify how we may contact you through email for marketing or promotional purposes at any time. This includes the choice to opt-out of receiving emails from us for marketing or promotional purposes altogether. To modify how we may contact you through email, follow the instructions provided in the marketing emails we send or email us at info@itknowledgezone.com.
You may have certain rights relating to your data under local data protection laws (e.g., the General Data Protection Regulation of Singapore Act, etc.) or based on your use of our Offerings. Such rights may include:
Access. You can ask us to confirm if we are processing your data, provide you with details about such processing, and give you a copy of your data.
Erasure. You can ask us to erase your data if certain conditions are met. We are not required to comply with your request to erase your data if the processing of your data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation or the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
Objection. You can object in writing to any processing of your data, which is done based on our “legitimate interests,” if you believe your fundamental rights and freedoms outweigh our legitimate interests. If you object in writing to our processing of your data, we shall then have an opportunity to demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate interests which override your rights and freedoms. In addition, you can object to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. We will then cease the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes.
Portability. You can ask us to provide your data to you in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, or you can ask to have it ‘ported’ directly to another data controller, but only where our processing is based on your consent and the processing is carried out by automated means.
Rectification. You can ask us to update or correct certain information; we may verify the accuracy of the data before rectifying it. For certain information, you may be able to update or correct information by updating your setting within the Offerings.
Restriction. You can ask us to restrict (i.e., keep but not use) your data, but only where: its accuracy is contested (see “Rectification” above), to allow us to verify its accuracy; the processing is unlawful, but you do not want it erased; it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, but we still need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; or you have exercised the right to object, and verification of any overriding grounds is pending. We can continue to use your data following a request for restriction where we have your consent to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, or to protect the rights of another.
Withdrawal of Consent. You can withdraw your consent where processing is based on the consent you have previously provided. Your withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of the processing done before your withdrawal of consent taking effect. If you have questions about how to withdraw the consent you had provided, please complete this form.
Exercise of Rights. To exercise your rights, please Email: info@itknowledgezone.com. We do not discriminate based on whether you choose to exercise your choices and rights and will not, based on your exercise of rights, deny the Offerings to you; charge you different rates (including through penalties or discounts/benefits); provide a different level or quality of Offerings, or suggest you may receive such different treatment. We will process any requests following applicable laws within a reasonable period. To properly process a request we may need to verify your identity before taking any request-related actions.
We keep your data for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in our notices (see “How We Use Personal Data” in the applicable notice) or, if applicable, following the relevant terms in an agreement between you and IT Knowledge Zone. We will keep your data longer if required for tax or accounting purposes, to ensure we would be able to defend or raise a claim, to resolve disputes, enforce our contractual rights, or where we have a legitimate need – though we will generally not keep personal data for longer than seven years following the last date of communication with you. Where personal data is no longer required, we anonymize or dispose of it securely.
We are committed to implementing and maintaining reasonable and appropriate technical, physical, and administrative safeguards to protect your data. However, no company, including IT Knowledge Zone, can guarantee the absolute security of Internet communications.
Our Sites and our business are not directed toward children under 18 and we do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you are under 18, please do not use the Sites or Offerings or share personal data with us. If you learn that anyone younger than 18 has unlawfully provided us with personal data, please contact us.
Personal data we collect may be transferred to, used, and stored in Singapore or other jurisdictions in which IT Knowledge Zone, our affiliates, or service providers are located; these locations (including Singapore) may not guarantee the same level of protection of personal data as the one in which you live. By providing us with your data, you agree to such transfer and/or processing. IT Knowledge Zone assesses the circumstances involving all cross-border data transfers and has suitable safeguards in place to require that your personal data will remain protected in accordance with this notice.
We may amend, update, or revise this notice from time to time to reflect changes to our privacy practices, changing technologies, industry practices, regulatory requirements, or for other reasons. If we make any material changes that affect the way we treat your data, we will notify you by email, through the Sites or Offerings, or by other legally acceptable means. We encourage you to periodically review this notice for the latest information on our privacy practices.
You have the right to complain to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your data, but we encourage you to reach out to us first. Where the processing is undertaken by our affiliated companies, they are joint controllers with IT Knowledge Zone, for your data. The best way to reach us is through email. We can be reached at:
